Carbon monoxide leak from back burner on stove

There are issues with leaving a burner or burners on for a length of time. A friend of mine did that and his carbon monoxide alarm went off a few hours later.Not realizing what was happening he called the fire department. Well guess what when they got there they ordered every one out of the house. They said if they kept this burner on another amount of time there could have been a ***** or bad sickness.
They told them if you are going to leave a burner that does not have an out side exhaust make sure you leave a couple of windows open.

Gas is not to dangerous as long as you do everything properly. Ensure you have CO2 detectors throughout you're house and also if you smell gas when you are not using/lighting you're stove there may be an issue. Now to the stove, the clicking you are hearing is the spark to light the gas. let it make that noise until you see a flame. Here is a video and links to CO2 detectors. http://www.homedepot.com/b/Electrical-Fire-Safety-Carbon-Monoxide-Alarms/N-5yc1vZbmgk

I'm pretty sure that indicates an alarm. The pattern is referred to as "temporal 4" which is the alarm pattern for CO. Either your device is in a bad place or there is an intermittent CO leak which is exceeding the ppm (parts per million) threshold for a given time period. The instructions for the device will tell you what that number is. If you have more than one of these, I would try swapping them to determine if the problen is with the device or the location. Good luck!

A carbon monoxide detector is a device that detects the presence of carbon monoxide gas to prevent CO poisoning. Radon is a different gas that can enter your house through foundation cracks. It has its own test kit to detect traces.

This is caused by incomplete combustion of the fuel, DO NOT operate this oven until a qualified repair person look s at this problem. CO gas is a killer and nothing to fool with.

New burners need to be run for a bit to burn off factory oils and the like for a bit (making sure of good ventilation in the house first). If this has been done and your smoke detectors are also carbon monoxide detectors turn the unit off and call a service tech before continuing use.

I do not know of any reported problems specific to the Kidde CO/smoke alarm, but I spent a significant part of my career servicing toxic gas sensors and can give you some general advice:

1- Most important: treat an alarm as a REAL alarm and DO NOT suspect that your alarm is a "false alarm". My experience has been that most "false alarms" ARE REAL and the source needs to be identified! With Carbon Monoxide detectors, it is usually a blocked vent for a gas fired appliance- a hot water heater, furnace, or oven. Call your fire department or a service professional to make sure that there is no carbon monoxide. They have portable detectors that will be able to double check your alarm.

My advice to you at this moment is to act as if you have a real alarm condition and do not place you or others in a life threatening situation. Ventilate the room/ apartment/house IMMEDIATELY!

I will post more after I send this because you may be in a life threatening situation!

If this is coming from your furnace I would have it checked now for carbon monoxide leaks. Most fire dept. will do this or call serveice tech. If that is what it is you should not take any chances. You can also buy a inexpensive co detector at most hardware stores.

Not trying to scare you but I had my own personal experience with one of my best friends and luckily he called me and I was able to get them out of the house. The next day I inspected the house with my electronic detector and found lethal levels of co. Take care and thank you.

Propane is heavier than air so if the detector is mounted ABOVE the appliances that use it (or any tubing that brings the propane into the house) it (the propane) will NOT be detected, even if there is a leak. That said, the PRODUCTS OF COMBUSTION of a propane appliance will still contain carbon monoxide (CO) which is lighter than air and will be detected by a properly installed detector. If you continue to get alarms and readings that differ from each other, along with no error codes on the display, it sounds like the detector is really detecting something. If the fire department cannot identify a source, try calling the Kidde "Hotline" at 1-800-880-6788 and ask if they can recommend another agency in your area to check your premises. I don't think these units detect Radon but am not sure. If your dwelling is of relatively new construction, the problem can be complicated by the fact that there is less outside air infiltration to disperse any build-up of gas/radon/CO/etc. than is typical in older construction. *Disclaimer: I am not a lawyer, despite the handle.

it 's very easy to fix, the oxygen vents need to be open on that burner, they are located as the burner meets the valve that supplies gas to it.
